(Nasdaq: TRAK), a leading provider of on-demand software and data solutions for the U.S. automotive retail industry, today announced that it has completed the integration of the DealerTrack Dealer Management System (DMS) with KIA Motors America's Web-based dealer communications system.

We look forward to offering them an efficient and highly economical DMS solution."
